Alex The Heir

Truth Jessie

The next day Alex works as a building porters, wiping the sweat on his forehead while deciding to rest. The work in the construction of the building did not make him complain in the least, however, he always remembered the main purpose of being in that place. 

"How's Jessie doing now? I miss her so much, is she okay?" Alex sat pensively and shadowed how the fate of the younger brother who was still in the Mateo residence. "I must quickly find my remaining biological family, but how is it possible?" he returned to continue the work. 

In the afternoon, Alex was walking in no direction. Walking where his feet took him away, even he slept just any place like in front of the shophouse and sometimes hitchhiked under the bridge. The uncertain job and the appearance of such a raspy faded his handsome face. 

Alex walked while holding a rumbling stomach, smiling at the sight of a warteg not far from him. "Huh, it looks like nature is supporting me." He who ran towards the goal, lack of caution made him accidentally hit a man who was calling. "I'm sorry, because I was in a hurry I accidentally bumped into." He said that he wanted to help the man and handed the phone that had fallen to the owner. 

Alex frowned as he looked at the man who was picking up something on the street, naturally recognized by him. He immediately felt the pendant in his pocket that turned out to be dropped, and could breathe a sigh of relief because the pendant that his only biological family relic did not disappear. He quickly helped the man stand up, and took the pendant and put it back on his neck.

"Whose locket is it?" ask the man who accidentally hit Alex, staring sharply as curiosity mixed into one. 

"It's mine." Alex Sarcas.

"You don't lie, are you sure it's yours?" The gaze of the middle-aged man was so sharp towards him, like a razor. 

"Of course, why? Why do you seem to corner me and accuse me." Alex stared exasperatedly at the middle-aged man who looked fierce and introgated him. 

"Where did you get it?" 

"It was there when I was a baby, but Mateo's family hid it from me. Is something wrong? The shock you're showing is like knowing this locket." Alex's lips can't trust strangers. 

"Of course I know him, may I see him one more time?" pinta, the middle-aged man, who raised his hand, wanted to check once again that he did not recognize the wrong item even though it had been twenty-eight years ago. 

Alex was forced to endure hunger, the curiosity of the middle-aged man made him give in. He immediately let go of the pendant that was stuck around the neck, hesitating a little but he also had no other choice. "Why are you so curious about my pendant?" he said a little bit. 

The man did not budge, grabbed Alex's pendant and went back to research. "It's not wrong, if I can't be wrong. This typical carving is custom made and is the only one, no one can imitate it." The middle-aged man's mind was as large as a beard of the head. 

"Are you satisfied to see my locket?" 

"Hem. I want you to come with me!" the man smiled at Alex. 

"Is this kidding? I don't even recognize you." Alex was about to leave but his steps were prevented by the man. 

"Don't go in a hurry, son. This is very important!" 

"Well, tell me first who you are as well as your real identity?" Alex finally stopped his steps while negotiating. 

"My name is John, a subordinate and confidant of the Anderson family. I want you to come along, this has something to do with the locket you're wearing."

Alex does not necessarily believe the words of the middle-aged man, it could be a con man or the enemy who wants his locket. He also knows a little about the real family of the rich, that's why the Mateo family is after his family. "Can I trust you? It could be some kind of scam, I'm not going with anybody!" refuse raw.n

"I'm not lying, it's the pendant that's the witness and also the evidence that you're from the Anderson family, the only heir in the family." Said the middle-aged man who tried to convince the young man before him, scrutinizing Alex's appearance from top to bottom which instead looked like a gem. 

"Come with me, I've been looking for you for years. Moreover, I was very sure when you said the name Mateo, the mafia family that has destroyed so many families." 

Alex's heart softened a little as the man persuaded her, she was also very curious about the pendant. Especially with the secret code written in paper, he wants to solve the puzzle he got especially want to meet his family who is still alive. "All right, I trust you. If you lie? Then I won't stay silent." His cursing followed where the middle-aged man took him. 

"Get in the car!" john's orders were immediately obeyed by Alex, before he got into the car first contact the superior to provide a report and also good news. 

"Hello sir."

"Hem, what's calling me?" 

"I found it!" 

"Don't joke about this, are you serious?" 

"Of course sir, I found a special pendant on a ruffled young man, and he said Mateo." 

"Take him to see me immediately!" 

"Good sir." 

After the call was over, John got into the car and ordered the driver to drive. The two corners of the lips are pulled up, indicating that he is so happy with this good news. 

"Make sure you're not lying!" threatening Alex to give full confidence in John, he does not know what will happen later or the existence of a conspiracy, the most important thing is to leave all this to God.

Jessie's fate is so unfortunate, she is locked up by her three brothers in a special prison in the Mateo residence, no one wants to save her. Treated like an animal that has no feelings, only cries, pain, and also the suffering experienced. 

There was the sound of pantofel shoes heading towards him, he saw who had come and had guessed. The three elder brothers who laughed with his fate were so tragically suffering under the bars. 

"Why would you treat me like this? I'm your sister why is a woman's right never considered at Mateo's residence?" 

"The woman you mean? Don't teach me about rights here!" lucas' circus pulled Jessie's curls until the owner grimaced in pain. 

"You're not the daughter of the Mateo family!" said Lerry loudly.

Time seemed to stop so quickly, the tears that were breaking down just dripped without warning. The harsh reality Jessie received regarding her identity, this was the reason why her three brothers bullied and also tortured Alex and himself. 

"W-what? I'm not the princess in this family?" lirih Jessie who seemed to not believe the words of her brother.
